Thank you for commenting on my image "Experimental Poinsttia" however it is not a manipulation. Had it been so I would have identified it as such. Any spot of red you see was picked by up the camera as this shot was taken in a greenhouse with over 40000 poinsettia of all colors growing.

Thank you for your kind comment on my Springtime Snow image, which is very much in a similar vein to the subject matter that you yourself like to capture. (I especially like your first submission,'Work in Water' and you're right - the colours are amazingly like Klimpt's The Kiss!)
